Why do I pray? Do I pray to say I prayed an hour? 

Why do I love? Do I want you beholden to me? 

Why do I help? Do I help to hear my name called out?

And why do I sing? 



Chorus:

Search me and know my heart, oh God. 

See if there is any wrong thing in me. 

All I have ever really wanted –

Clean hands and a pure heart. 



 

Why do I give? Do I give so I can get a blessing? 

Why do I praise? Do I praise to do the right thing? 

Why do I serve? Do I serve so others will serve me?

And  Why do I sing? 



Chorus:

Search me and know my heart, oh God. 

See if there is any wrong thing in me. 

All I have ever really wanted –

Clean hands and a pure heart.
